Well, I missed a day posting. Really, this blogging everyday for 31 days is harder than you would think. I find that if I am on my daily routine, it isn't too bad. I post before bed and scripture study. But yesterday was not routine.
First, We had spent Friday night in Eufaula, AL. for our anniversary. Then we slept in, or rather we didn't get up at our usual time. (I'm not sure getting up at 7:00am constitutes sleeping in) After breakfast, we met up with our daughter,Tatianna, at the residence where her baby shower was to take place. Tatianna is not into a lot of social traditions and was nervous about this shower for a variety of reasons. It turned out well. Everyone behaved and she was showered with love and acceptance by friends, family and church members. The baby will be well dressed and Tatianna is set up for a successful start to motherhood.
My husband in the meantime, checked out a couple of gun shops and otherwise kept himself occupied until I texted him to meet us at Tatianna's house. We spent just a short time with her before heading home. I would have liked to have spent a little more time with her but we had a 2+ hour drive and were going to lose an hour with the time change. Also she was tired. Growing a whole new person is work. So we got back on the road to home.
Google routed us through Dothan and well about that time we were ready for a break. We stopped at Rural King, which is a farm supply store. Rural King will be opening up a store in Bainbridge soon and we decided to check it out. What we discovered is that Rural King could very well be a dangerous store to have too close by. With it being in Bainbridge, I can stop and get things after work but it is too far for a quick run on the weekends. I failed to check out the feed prices so we could compare them to Tractor Supply which is the farm supply store currently closest to us. Tatianna swears Rural King is cheaper, so I will be taking a closer look at it when they finally open.
We got back to Cairo but had to stop and get a birthday gift before heading home. When we finally got home and unloaded the car, we were able to sit and catch out breath for a minute or two before heading to our other daughter's for the baby's first birthday party. It was a small simple gathering and the baby showed off a little bit. It was cute to watch her pick up her "smash" cake and start eating it, frosting first. She even offered her brother some. She enjoyed the teddy bear that Santapa picked out. Her parents got her a new car seat. and her siblings gave her a slap bracelet stuffed toy. She was a little overwhelmed by the time we left.
By the time we got home, Kim and I were both quite tired but finished watching a movie. I then had to work on my talk for Sunday. I struggled with this one. I don't usually have that problem and to be honest, right up until I started giving the talk, I wasn't sure what I was going to say. In fact just before the meeting, I felt the need to look up a scripture which I ended up using in the closing part of my talk.
I was so worn out and off schedule that I got in bed without taking my meds. I was settled in when I realized that I hadn't blogged or done my scripture study. (though I suppose preparing for the talk could have been considered scripture study). I did get up and take my meds but the rest was not happening that night.
This week is going to be prep for our Relief Society activity on Saturday. As well as finish up the head board for Tatianna's baby's crib. But next saturday is going to be another off schedule day for me. Maybe I won't be so distracted as to miss out on my routines next week. But as Kim will be home, there is a good chance I will be.
How do you keep on track when your schedule is thrown off?
